Popular Force Party

The Popular Force Party was a social conservative political party in Mexico which existed from 1936 to 1948. The party was affiliated with the National Synarchist Union and the far-right, and it rallied behind Jesus A. Castro in the 1946 presidential election. The PFP believed that marriage was indissoluble, and it was aligned with Catholic fundamentalism. It was banned in December 1948 for its unruly behavior, having held 8% of seats in the Mexican government in 1936 and been the largest right-wing party in Mexico under Lazaro Cardenas' government.
